As the "smart meters" are installed, the cost of energy increases. Not a single case on record of the costs going down.
"The county board, with Susan Adams absent, voted 4-0 to dispatch a letter to Michael Peevey, the state utilities commission president, saying in part:
"Given the unusually high rate of reported device failures, the cost of installation ($2.2 billion), the concern and uncertainty expressed by the public regarding SmartMeter operational accuracy and the wireless technology employed by the system, it seems not only fiscally prudent but appropriately protective of the public trust to suspend operation of the SmartMeter system until your independent investigation is complete and remedies implemented, if warranted."
The board added that the meter program must be "shown to the PUC in a public hearing to protect the health and safety" of residents."
The real question is who made the money off this boondoggle? This is about the special interests being promoted, not the interests of the public.
